With the launch of its graduate level Nuclear Criticality Safety Engineering Certificate Program in 2013, UNLV became the first university in Nevada, and only one of a handful in the United States, to bridge the gap between academia and the nuclear industry to ensure a well-trained and well-qualified workforce in the criticality safety arena.
